Rolex Daytona Bi-Metal Blue Arabic Dial

[HollywoodStig]

Bit of a dilemma, looking for some second opinions;

Incoming SS Daytona White face due Mar-14

BUT

Have had one before in 2006 and had to sell it fund a property deal, and although I miss it I've been considering a bi-metal with Blue or White Arabic dial as I'm keen to have something different and there are so many fake SS Daytonas out there. White Gold with Black Arabic dial way out of my league at £25k.

Lucky enough to have a small collection of low to medium end watches at present, but nothing with gold.

Will I regret this?

Finally heading to Dubai next year and hoping to pick one up and get a deal - any idea what I can expect to pay? £11,250 UK price, would sub £8/9k be achievable out there??

All replies gratefully received.

I was looking at a Gold / SS earlier today - think they look really nice, but given the prices used clearly don't hold there value so much second hand

Yup. They can be acquired for less than a SS.

This is the look I fancy;

I found Rolex's in Dubai tend to be more expensive than in the uk when I was there in July !

Check how much that watch cost 23 years ago when it was made. A considerable amount less than is being asked for it now .

I don't see the price on the bi-metal there, but really shows how the daytona (and everything else) has shot up in price
